Symptoms, remedies, treatments and care for Baldness

Baldness

Baldness refers to a loss of hair from part of the head. Common types of baldness include male-pattern hair loss, female-pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, and the thinning of hair known as telogen effluvium.

Causes of baldness may include genetics and male hormones (for male-pattern hair loss), stress, medications (e.g., chemotherapy) or malnutrition. It can also be caused by inflammations such as fungal infection.
